In an aborted plan to roll out the news, the agency would have emphasized the importance of vaccinating people against the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease that has spread to 19 states, the records show.

“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” the statement said, echoing a line from a column Kennedy wrote for the Fox News website. “People should consult with their healthcare provider to understand their options to get a vaccine and should be informed about the potential risks and benefits associated with vaccines.”

Here we go. A whole lot of people are going to get sick and/or die because of this. A dude with a literal brain worm because he ate rotted animal flesh due to probably being stone out of his gourd, is giving health advice and people are listening? Ffs, don't listen to this dude anyone.
